I've never been very good at doing profiles of any sort, which is kind of funny since I'm an English major (recently graduated with a BA in English, in fact), and I happen to love writing. But I always end up second-guessing the stuff I write, or I write so much, it turns into a novel that I never quite finish.

If I had to condense everything down, though? I am a writer.

I have been writing actively for about ten or so years now since the end of my high school days. I love to write. Poetry, prose, random bits of randomness, I love it all. And while I have only recently begun trying to do more with my writing than just thinking about ideas I want to use, I am only now beginning to think about possibly becoming a creator on Patreon. I don't know if it will work. I don't know if I will succeed. But I am tired of never trying things out of fear or lack of self-esteem, so for once, I am going to make the effort. We'll see where it goes.

Otherwise...

My biggest dream in life is to write for a living. I've got a novel, Leaving Marks, that I am gradually working on (I've been working on it for years, but I've reached a point where I feel it's at its best, and now it's a matter of editing it to a final enough draft to publish it), and I have a rough poetry collection, Strix and Stones, in the works as well. And I hope to produce even more as time goes on, and I would love to share them with any patrons willing to join me on this (admittedly, bumpy-starting) ride.

So, for now, cheers, and let's see what we can create together!
